So true. Many kids see many worse things than a little gore and some bad language. Heck, even VP Dick Cheney used the "F-Word" on the Senate Floor (Fox News, CNN, MSNBC). And kids fantasize about war and being soldiers and all that, so why don't we show them the gruesome reality that is war, maybe then they won't mindlessly enlist and get killed.
